Did you ever wonder what was behind this door on Rosedale Street?
New Lanark is a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Clyde Valley of Scotland. Its mills were built to process cotton using the water power of the Clyde. The village used to have 2,000 residents, now it has about 150. This website has been created to provide information and a forum for residents and anybody else interested in the village. It is independent of both the New Lanark Trust and the New Lanark Village Group.
The New Lanark Mill offices. Demolished in 1984.
"This shows the mill offices, probably built by Birkmyre & Somerville after 1880, with the steam engine house on the right. The office was demolished during the refurbishment of the village, to open up the centre. This photograph was taken after the Gourock Ropework Co Ltd, owners of the mills, had closed them, and dismantling of machinery had already begun." Canmore
